– 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1 teaspoon sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon black salt
– 1/4 cup oil (for greasing the baking dish)

Instructions
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with salt, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, fenugreek powder, and asafoetida. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Coat the Chicken: In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Dip the marinated chicken pieces in the flour-cornstarch mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking dish with oil and place the coated chicken pieces in the dish.
4. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine vinegar, soy sauce, tomato sauce, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, sugar, and black salt. Mix well to create the sauce.
5. Bake the Chicken: Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is well-cooked and the sauce has thickened.
6. Drizzle the Sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, pour the prepared sauce over the chicken pieces and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce is well-coated on the chicken.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot with steamed rice or naan.
